Finally, to finish this out I had met another lovely lady working at the convenience store just down the block. She shall be known as Shell. I had been buying her flowers and doing other little things just to be nice for quite some time. Well, I finally got up the gumption to ask her out on a date. And what happens? She accepts... and never calls. I finally ran into her again,and she told me she didn't think it was a good idea because she had a daughter. Now I can respect someone looking out for the welfare of their children, don't get me wrong. But am I some sort of monster? Am I not safe to be around toddlers? Do I need a warning lable stamped on my forehead "Not intended for children under 30"?
